Alex Bruce of BruceBall faces the press after Gameweek 4.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
A word for the manager of BruceBall: Dead last of 21. At what point does a tail outcome become an estimate of true skill?
Drama queenBruceBall replies
I clutch my armband and weep into my spreadsheet.
The RookieAsks daftly
Alex, quick one: João Pedro got 12 points as captain. Does that mean you did it right?
SnarkyBruceBall replies
I'd say it was skill, but I don't want to jinx the next one.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Let me put this to Alex Bruce: James, form 0.3, still starts. Is loyalty a strategy?

Alex Bruce, BruceBall supporters want to know: You're sitting on 4 free transfers. What are you waiting for?

Banked transfers are an option with no expiry, up to the cap. I deploy them when the information is best.
The RookieAsks daftly
Alex, a question for you: Shahar is unavailable. Does he still count as a substitute if he can't come on?

I trusted the little arrows. Green is good, right?
